Parque Nacional del Este, Dominican Republic.

The Caribbean region is among the world’s most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, and erosion threaten lives, homes, jobs and infrastructure. Evidence suggests that ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) can significantly reduce these risks and offers a cost-effective approach to climate-smart, sustainable development.

Together with governments, communities and partners, the Conservancy and IFRC are developing an adaptation toolkit to promote better decision-making and resilience through disaster management that integrates nature-based solutions. The project will also implement innovative nature-based interventions within coastal communities in the Dominican Republic, Grenada and Jamaica.

The long-term impact is to achieve resilient islands with empowered communities and governments that significantly increase investments in the protection of key ecosystems. A regional coalition of leaders trained in climate adaptation will share project successes throughout the region, increase access to conservation funding and champion innovative approaches to meeting adaptation, risk reduction and development goals.

Focus Countries

The Resilient Islands project team will work with partners to help realize various aspects of the Strategic Plan’s integrated approaches for ecosystem-based adaptation while complementing on-going initiatives.

The Resilient Islands project team will work with the Climate Change Division at the Ministry of Water, Land, Environment and Climate Change to align activities with the National Development Plan for Jamaica.

The Resilient Islands project team works with the National Council for Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism (NCCC), and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to integrate ecosystem-based adaptation into the Dominican Republic’s National Policy on Climate Change.

Between 1990 and 2008, hurricane and storm events in the Caribbean accounted for US$135 billion in losses. In 2017, the region endured a hurricane season of unprecedented strength and destruction. A predicted rise in storm frequency and intensity will increase such devastating events, further exacerbated by sea level rise, inundation, storm surge and erosion. These coastal hazards threaten lives, jobs, transportation, hospitals, water and power supply plants, homes, schools, and businesses.

Climate adaptation is a priority for Caribbean nations, however significant challenges hinder their ability to integrate ecosystem-based adaptation into development plans, including:

With new locations planned for Kentucky and Indiana, third-generation C.E. Taylor Oil is positioning its Chuckles convenience store chain for the future.

By David Bennett, Senior Editor

When C.E. Taylor Oil Inc. was just getting started, family members who were intent on growing the business realized that while gas was the base of operations, retail sales would shape the future.

The Washington, Ind.-based Chuckles convenience chain consists of 29 locations throughout southern Indiana and western Kentucky. Today, the c-store brand is the driving force in the company’s expansion.

Chuckle’s store count increased by seven after acquiring two gas stations in Indiana and five others in Kentucky from a competitor last year. The deal complements Chuckles’ plans to grow in the marketplace—from the size of its new stores, to the way it’s engaging customers, to new foodservice strategies.

Charles Taylor, Jr.,president, said like other c-stores, Chuckles held off expansion plans when the U.S. economy declined in 2008. Now, with bigger competitors making bold moves, the ambitious convenience chain is writing a new chapter for the family’s memoirs.

“One of the advantages (of being a family), is we have the potential to move faster on things compared to our larger competitors. We always have been a flat organization, very lean, and that’s how we compete,” Taylor said.

IN THE BEGINNING
Taylor’s father—Charles Senior—worked for Shell Oil for 16 years before taking over a small jobber business in 1967, establishing what today is C.E. Taylor Oil. The jobber operation, which also managed gas station properties, distributed to three counties, which included the cities of Loogootee, Monroe City, Shoals and Vincennes.

IN THE BEGINNING

Expansion began with the acquisition of jobbership in Gibson County, Ind. Over time, the company amassed a reasonable-sized portfolio through sheer hard work and determination, but realized that to compete it would have to diversify its services. The family launched its first convenience store in 1984, when it began converting two- or three-bay gas stations within the Taylor Oils portfolio into convenience stores.
